A few days ago one of the storage rooms at the university
was cleaned up and I grabbed all the computer-related stuff
that I could. Not a lot of variety, though. Besides
from the wintel carcasses and Mac plus remains, I found
one Datapoint 1550 and several modules from a type system that
I have never seen. The cpu, floppy disk drives and graphics
modules snap onto each other's side very neatly. There are
several of these systems, with the corresponding monitors and
keyboards. Alas, the only power supply unit that I found
is incomplete and badly damaged. Do you guys have some
info about these systems? Pics can be found at

These pics are about 70K. They'll probably load slowly;
we're bandwidth-starved these days.
